I think the Greinke deal is going to be fine for them. So will Kemp's if he stays healthy. Crawford and Ethier are overpayed, but they still produce. AGon should start to earn his contract again. They might have trouble re-signing Kershaw though. I could see the Sox giving Kershaw something like 7 years/$200M when he is a free agent in 2014.

That deal for Kershaw would be a lot easier to handle if we don't a 4-5 year with Hamilton.

Grienke's contract at best will be worth it. Kemp is never healthy. Ethier's contract is awful. Crawford? I can't even start with that again..

Funny if thse lose Kershaw that arguably the best player they have in all those names is the one they can't afford.

6/27/09: “We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader,” Ainge said. “There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I don’t know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and it’s just unacceptable.”

Yeah, but I can see Dodgers pulling what the Marlins did and do a fire sale if they start to lose, and not living up the the hype.

Yeah! We can get Crawford back...

Yeah still not interested in the almighty once addict now saint Hamilton.

Crawford is a much better fit there. I don't think Greinke earns that money completely, but I'm saying it wont be the reason for an LA disaster. The real disaster would be, as you said, not being able to afford Kershaw. They'll try to unload Ethier's contract every chance they get im sure, hoping Joc Pederson will be able to take over RF making next to nothing for 5 years.

Everything is quiet on the Boston Front. Furthermore did anyone know Boston just hired a new Pawtucket coach. I was wondering is the Pawtucket coach responsible for the A, Double A and Triple A players

Boston AAA affiliate is in Pawtucket, hence that's the team he's managing.

98.5 is talking about the Sox drawing the line at 3 years with Hamilton, but haven't quoted the source. This might be in the $75M-$84M ($25-28M per) range package if they want to be serious.

Don't think that flies. Hamilton 4 years or more at $20M-$26M per.

I think Swisher has to be signed before Hamilton can land.
